4th of JULY
We had a great weekend for the 4th. Friday Ashley S. and Ashley B. came down and we went to Atlanta to go dress shopping for my 10 year reunion. Had a good time, caught up and of course laughed alot. Saturday I laid by the pool in the a.m. and got some much needed R&R. Then went to Kroger for groceries to fix for the day. The guy in front of me got a grill and I was nosey and looked to see what it cost. It was on sale for $ 7.50. We had been talking about getting one and just wanted a small cheap one. So I got us one too, some charcoal, and lighter fluid and came home and put Sean to grillin!! LOL.
